Caution: Cute Puppies Ahead!

Yesterday, I found these cute little puppies and a couple of cats at Walmart. They were in the toy section along with all sorts of animals. All of the animals I got were $2.88. The other animals ranged from $2.88 to around $24. I couldn't get good pictures of them, because the camera with the macro setting is MIA.

Monica is our resident animal caretaker.

She was all too happy to rescue these little ones. She decides a bath is in order for everyone.

She puts three of them on the floor to play. Luckily for the kitties, they aren't paying them any mind.

Monica tries to get the new little pup acclimated to the bathing idea before adding any water. She wants his bathing experience to be a good one.

Later after all the baths are given, the animals and Monica make their way into the living area.

The cats have settled on top of the fireplace next to the second of six woodworking projects I'm currently working on. It's not for my dolls. This one is dedicated to our wonderful troops. I'm still trying to decide whether to stain it or paint it.

The four pups are all clean and ready to play.

Now Monica has to figure out what to do with all of these wonderful creatures. She would love to keep them all, but that's just not feasible.

The puppies and kitty's are adorable! I love your wood work on the fireplace as well. May I suggest staining it? There's a great color stain called Cabernet if you like a deep, rich red/burgundy. It's sold at Home Depot. :-)

Isn't it great Walmart has this line of animals? Ben Franklin had them but they were more expensive. I purchased the chickens and the same cat stretching you did. The puppies are adorable and your woodwork project is wonderful!

The puppies are so cute! The little German Shepard is the cutest! Maybe I'll get a few for my doll Officer Olivia to train or for future cop Jamie to play with then train when hes older! I hope all the pets get put into families soon :)

All the puppies look so cute! And you have a real bunch of of them LOL Monica has lots of work, for sure. And your wooden work dedicated to the army is perfectly done, you'll have to show when it's totally finished!

Ms Leo - Rement put out a set of cats and accessories. I don't remember the year. It had a cute litter box and I think a cat posed in the popping position. You know those retired sets can get quite pricey.
